Why are dogs used to guide blind people if they cant even see as many colors as we do? Black and white isnt that much better than a blind person. how do they know when to cross a street?

I don't know, but I'd like to know who operates the pooper-scooper of a seeing-eye dog... how does the blind person know when his dog has pooped?

Black and white TV was pretty good for quite a few years, and vision limited to that would prevent you from walking into a telephone pole.
Dogs can tell when a traffic light says it is safe to cross the street by the location of the illuminated light. I think it is Red on top, yellow in middle, green on bottom, but I'm not as smart as most dogs so I'd have to go check.

because they can see the street, where a blind person can't. and black and white is much better than blind. blind is not seeing anything at all. dogs can see detail better than a human in low light and dark situations. plus if you can't see, either you're going to be the person's seeing eye dog yourself for you life. or you can train a dog who can probably do it better.

Seeing eye canines are knowledgeable interior the village I grew up in, and we've been continually informed to ask earlier interacting with the canines. some running shoes - at particular factors interior the coaching - actively motivate human beings to attempt to distract canines in coaching, so as that they'd get used to ignoring distractions, that's a necessary component to their coaching. I oftentimes bypass away guidance canines on my own, yet while they are in coaching, I do ask no remember if that's okay to puppy or consult with the dogs.

training- lots of it.the visually impared person is trained with and without the service animal to pay attention to sounds ect. This is accomplished during mobility training. Do you ever watch vintage b and w films? They are better than when they are colorized.
For more info on Leader animals please look tpo the Leader dogs for the blind website. good luck

My dogs see in color. It only the dogs that belong to Stupid people that see only in Black and White. They learn it from their owners.

Because Dogs see color. That myth was put to rest awhile ago. I am sure there are probably colorblind dogs just like colorblind people (my ex is) but most dogs see colors.
